    There are not varying degrees of death.

    They’re called that way because unlike a knife, they dont “kill less frequently” but “don’t kill” (at least by design).

    You can’t be less dead. You can be less than dead. Plus I was intentionally making a pedantic asterisk because he did one, i dont really care if it’s right to what he implied.

      I think the point they’re trying to make is that tasers have in fact killed numerous people. Though at a lower rate than a traditional firearm. They’re lethal less often.

      Oh and some sauce: 500 deaths over a decade is near 1 death a week on average.
